Evaluator Alternatives

Evaluator

Evaluator is an audio creation app that lets you write short C-style programs whose output is used to generate sound! It's available as a standalone app or as a VST plugin for your DAW.

The basic idea is that a program operating on 64-bit unsigned integers is used to generate every audio sample. The program essentially runs in a while loop that automatically increments the variables t, m, and q before executing the program code each time.

Evaluator makes some incoming audio and MIDI available to the program. The first two channels of incoming audio can be accessed using [0] and [1]. The most recent MIDI Note On number and velocity can be accessed with the n and v variables. MIDI Control Change values can be retrieved using the C unary operator (eg: C10 will be the most recent value recieved for MIDI CC 10).
